Michael Cohen Says Kamala Harris Should Ask Trump Specific Question

Michael Cohen says newly named Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris should ask former President Donald Trump one specific question at their upcoming debate.
Cohen, who is now a vocal critic of Trump, formerly worked as his lawyer and testified against the former president in his May criminal hush money trial. He previously pleaded guilty to tax evasion, campaign finance violations, and lying to Congress.
During a recent podcast episode on the left-leaning outlet MeidasTouch on the show Political Beatdown with Michael Cohen and Ben Meiselas,” Cohen criticized the former president and Republican nominee for bad-mouthing the country, saying, Trump is always “s***-talking America every single time there’s a camera around.”
Cohen said that Trump portrays the country in a negative light, saying, “we’re stupid, our economy is in the toilet, there’s crime, everyone’s a rapist, drug addict, murderer.”
Cohen then offered advice to the vice president, suggesting, “I would say, if I was Kamala Harris—hopefully during the debate—maybe you could tell me, since America is so bad, in your opinion, I mean every time this idiot opens his mouth, he’s s***-talking the United States of America…so I would just like to ask you, Donald, what country would you like to go live in that you think is better than the United States of America?”
He added that “It’s a great question to ask him because there’s no answer that he could give that would be acceptable,” saying that “We’re [the country is] surging in everything that were doing, what’s better?”
Cohen cited the economy and the unemployment rate, which is currently low at 4.3 percent. Cohen appeared at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) this week in support of Harris’ candidacy.
Newsweek reached out to Trump’s and Harris’ campaign for comment via email on Friday evening.
Trump and Harris are scheduled to debate on September 10 in Philadelphia. It will be hosted by ABC News.
The election is neck and neck, with most national aggregate polls showing Harris ahead, while battleground states—often where the election is decided—remain deadlocked. However, in a survey conducted by Navigator Research between July 31 and August 8, Harris and Trump are tied in battleground states Michigan, North Carolina and Wisconsin, while Trump leads in Arizona and Pennsylvania.
Independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who had been polling at about 5 percent in national aggregate surveys, dropped out of the race Friday and endorsed Trump.
